Today marks my 49th trip around the sun, so with my fiftieth trip starting, I’d like to announce that I’m going to take this time and use it to create one last book.

I have been working on a lot of ideas for, or parts of, scribbles since iHuman came out. They’re apparently better than my last book, so I’m going to finish them off. Then Mrs Bob, who (unfortunately due to my dyslexia & ASD) happens to be my proofreader, will turn my ideas into something beautiful. 

So between us, we’re going to be working hard to make this book the very best it can be. I want to know that my last book is something to be proud of, and something that you’ll really enjoy reading. 

While you wait, please enjoy a complimentary scribble to while away the time. 

Laps

In a trip around the sun, a year unfolds,

A journey of time where stories are told.

365 days, a number so grand,

A mathematical marvel, you should understand.

Minutes in a year, let’s calculate:

60 minutes in an hour, we contemplate.

Multiply by 24, for each passing day

Equals 1,440, in this numerical array.

Now let’s dive deeper, into the math,

Leap years, a twist in the annual path.

Every four years, an extra day is gained

To keep the calendar synced and maintained.

But wait, there’s more, a leap second too!

To account for Earth’s rotation, it’s true.

Inserted sporadically to keep time in sync,

This intricate dance is a fascinating link.

A year, a journey, through seasons and tides,

From spring’s renewal to winter’s icy slides.

Birthdays celebrated, memories made,

A year’s worth of moments, in this time cascade.

So let us cherish each passing day

In this trip around the sun, come what may.

365 days, a mathematical feat,

A year’s worth of wonders for us to meet.
